Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Luck Sarabhayavanija closed one restaurant but opened another.
The owner of a line of New Jersey eateries called Ani Ramen, Sarabhayavanija wanted to help first responders and health care workers. So after he temporarily closed his business, he launched a nonprofit pop-up restaurant that will offer customers discounted Thai rotisserie chicken and pizza — and donate meals to those working on the front lines.
"We get to feed our first responders that are sacrificing their health, their time with their family, so we could be at home safe," Sarabhayavanija told NBC Asian America. Starting in Jersey City on April 24, the new pop-ups, Rock City Pizza Co. and Bang Bang Chicken, began serving the Thai chicken dish kai yang and Detroit-style pizzas for under $20. While ordering, customers will be asked to donate. For $6, Sarabhayavanija will provide a free pizza to front-line workers, and for $8, a whole chicken meal. Customers can also donate directly throughAfter initially closing all his locations, Sarabhayavanija laid off his staff.
